Should You Buy an Xbox One this Black Friday 2021?

Even though the Xbox One is no longer the newest console from Microsoft, it’s perhaps the best Xbox to buy this fall. Why? Even though the new Series X is impressive in terms of graphics, the Xbox One is still going to receive all the newest releases for games until at least 2022.

You'll always be able to expect awesome deals on the Xbox One from us, even when it isn't Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Since the new Xbox Series X was just released, you can expect the price of the Xbox One to drop significantly.

You can get a refurbished Xbox that costs a lot less than a new one. All our used and refurbished Xbox One consoles have been inspected by professionals to ensure that they are still working just like new ones. At Back Market, our items are quality controlled and sent to you squeaky clean inside and out.

There are a lot of moving parts inside the Xbox, especially if the version you’re buying still has a CD tray. If you've owned and fixed a few Xbox consoles, then you probably wouldn't trust buying a used one that hasn’t been refurbished by professionals. We totally get that. For added peace of mind, all our products come with a 1-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Depending on if you're interested in the One or the One S, you can find an Xbox on Back Market for under $400. The Series X goes for close to $1,000. And most Black Friday deals aren't going to shave off enough to make a dent on this pricey model. So why not go refurbished and skip the stress of Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping?

The base version of Xbox Live is technically free, but you don’t really get much from this free version of Live. Unless you buy the premium Xbox Live Gold membership, you won’t be able to play games online with friends and strangers. So it doesn't really make sense to play the free version.

Sometimes Microsoft gives better deals for Xbox Live subscriptions for Black Friday. Normally, a 1-month Xbox Live Gold subscription costs $59.99 for 12 months, $24.99 for 3 months, and $9.99 for 1 month. Log in to the Microsoft store with your Xbox this Black Friday to see if there are any special deals. For the past few years, Microsoft has offered a 1-month Xbox Live Gold subscription for $1 on this shopping holiday, which is pretty nice, but unfortunately no special deals for longer-term memberships.

It's been over a year since Xbox released the Xbox Series X, and the Xbox One still has all the staples of a next-gen console like the Xbox Series X, but it's scaled back in a much more accessible and affordable gaming box. Since it's been over a year, you'll see more Black Friday deals on the Xbox Series X, but that just means even better deals on the Series One. With a lot of debate over what the best Xbox series is, remember it's important to figure out what you want in a gaming console. The best Xbox deals of the holidays will come and go, but Back Market will always be here to offer a sweet price on a sweet gaming system.
